Posted on November 16, 2016

Increasing Demand for Personal Protective Equipment in North America According to Topper Industrial.

Personal protective equipment products are inclusive of eye and face protection, head protection, hearing protection, respiratory protection, fall protection, and professional footwear among others. Personal protective equipment products are used across several industries such as construction, manufacturing, oil and gas, chemicals, food, healthcare, and several others. The demand for personal protective equipment in North America is greater than ever according to Topper Industrial.

Factors such as the increasing awareness for workers’ safety is the major reason fueling the demand for the personal protective equipment. Accidents in workplaces have paved the way for the influx of personal protective equipment. People working in the field of oil and gas, chemicals, construction, manufacturing require proper safety, pushing the increased demand.

The professional footwear segment held the largest market share accounting for more than 25% of the total personal protective equipment market in North America. Supportive measures taken by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for the usage of personal protective equipment was triggered by rising incidents of workplace accidents.
